Watching the games on Prime, all women's sport, those Sri Lankan sevens player need to improve, I(a lot) I reckon there is a bias towards females as in sport on free to air, , right now we have cricket following the women's sevens, some of these sports have their own competitions, personally I think the Olympics and the Commenwealth should be more for individuals, not professional team sports, don't really bother me but just a observation. Might be early in the day so maybe other sports ain't got going yet, don't know.

I don't find Alexandra Park boring but then I rarely watch racing there, I reckon if you get too much ones enthusiasm fades, can't ever see Auckland going the other way, more likely they not go around at all someday, not impossible.

But what is it people want,

Did I read somewhere when the dates were released for the new season that Southland had one less meeting due to the fact that some wanted a bit less racing in the winter,?

If they did major renovations, cant see it but ive been wrong before.

And the North Island ?

Riccarton may have grandiose ideas about being the hub of racing but where will they run their meetings if there are no alternatives ? Ashburton should tell them to get stuffed, Timaru the same, if Riccarton think they can beet the shit out of its track every second week from next week on then let them, but when they do major renovations as in shutting down for a extended time then these other clubs need to hold out for a better deal. Be very interesting if the wet spell continued through September and October how Riccarton would shape up then. Probably as it stands right now it would be debatable if there is any tracks Oamaru north fit for racing on and that includes north of Cook Strait.

Reginald Perins show was rather unique, especially Doc Morrisey, 2 aspirins fixed everything, and of course the mother joke. Smith and Jones with medical watch clip , very funny, Griff Reece Jones these days does travel programmes,. Archie Bunker along with married with children probably the best comedy's from USA, interesting reading about Carrol O Connor who played Bunker was a regular church goer, maybe some of Archie's views weren't his but he played the part well. The dumb and dumber clip saw that the other day, seemed pretty funny Jum Carrey, great actor. Comedy and music two passions of mine, mostly older stuff, NZ has produced some great music and comedy in the past, Fred Dagg, when you watch it now it's rather juvenile, my thoughts only,was funny then though, , never forgot the time he had his tv on and he had a vase with a couple of ferns for a aerial, brilliant. Seemed a simpler life those days.

Last one for now, then we will resume sorting out the NZ Racing and Harness racing issues.😄 That aint one of the easiest task either. Dumb and Dumber To (5 10) Movie CLIP - Fart Games (2014) HD.mp4

This is the way to inform the public, beats Ashley Bloomfield any day. Smith Jones - Venereal Disease.mp4

Not much of a problem at my end these days. Safer to have a hot pie instead.

Well some things have changed, Carisbrook is no more, provincial rugby is seriously declining, (like racing) but interesting when you have a weather event it's interesting that the last time it got that hot or cold was in the 60s or late 40s or whatever, it's happened before, probably likely to happen again.

28 years ago today Otago beat the Springboks to claim the Springbok head, Carisbrook was awash that day, seems after all those years thing havnt really changed much, seems despite climate change it's just doing the same as what it was doing years ago, just a thought.

I've got most of Kevs CD/dvds, no CD of rude ,just tapes that may not play anymore tapes deteriorate over time, it was funny at the time but as one gets older it loses its gloss but comedy as a rule growing up was better, anything from Bennie Hill , Dave Allen, Dick Emery to shows like Archie Bumker,(all in the family),John Cleese, silly walks and Faulty Towers, The Two Ronnie's, Regy Perin and the mother in law and CJ, Dads Army, all good stuff.

John Thomas Allcock lol

Good player but definitely an enigma.

Problem is, what does one believe ?

You tube is brilliant, so many music, comedy clips, never would see them on tv. On another note what a bunch of contradictory arseholes Russia are in Ukraine, don't matter what happens everybody else is wrong, they are always right, sign a deal to let the grain be shipped then bomb the port, fuckem.

Mick the master farter So we just locked ourselves down in the scrum and held each other's nose And Mick our little hooker let this fucking ripper go Well it stung their nose and burnt there eyes and it even scorched the grass And I twigged right then and there he had a double jointed arse.

A bit fucked up really but funny at the time, Kevin Bloody Wilsons touring NZ again, he's about 75 , funny guy, actually a very good song writer, seen Kev 4 times, call him silly or whatever but an interesting fact is Kevs written over 200 songs, Elvis Presley actually I believe I read somewhere wrote none, Elvis was good but writing songs is an art, People who produce good music and good comedy make the world a better place, not so sure about the comedy of today, though, too sanitised.

Does anybody here know of a funny guy from Ozzie called Rodney Rude......just see he's nearly 80, gee time must fly when having fun. They were so poor when they were kids he had to wear a dog suit just so he could rummage around the neighbours garbage, and the only time they smelt hot food was when a rich person farted,lol.

Just to add, the Super rugby has existed without Africa, is it as good ? What happens if Aussie pull the pin? Were the Blues that good or just the best of a average bunch? Will sacking two assistant coach from the ABs really make any difference, doesn't the buck stop at the top?

Sure the Crusaders are good,but if they go to South Africa to play, they play in the day, probably sunny and warm, good for playing in, if the Africans come here they play in the cold, probably in an environment that is foreign,as in mud, sure they are professionals but basically they probably prefer not to be here, which might be another reason why they ain't no more, not that many competitions in sport where the travel factor is so great. Spose in some ways you could compare it to race horses, some like the dry, some the mud, wouldn't think South African rugby players would be too keen on the mud, lambs to the slaughter really.
